WEBINAR:- The next Venus Star Point™ is at 14˚ Gemini, which is Mercury-ruled, on June 4th. It’s a big one for so many reasons. I am offering a webinar on May 1st that will look back at 2012, 2020, and ahead. Radical change is coming! It will be recorded and the slides will be available to download.

The Virgo Moon opposes Mars and Neptune in Pisces and squares the Galactic Center today as the Taurus Sun opposes creatrix Haumea and the once in 14 year conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus approaches tonight.
This is a pivotal day but one where ‘what’s’ changing may not be fully evident until later. Turning points are like that, as are cycles. It’s an ending and beginning.
I am still mindblown by the realization that there was a conjunction of these two on my north Node in my ninth house in 1969 when I would have noticed something on TV as we were about to move to a very new and foreign to me place. A move that turned out to change the trajectory of my life in many ways. More than some moves might. I am still writing that section in my book but wow.
All this to say, it’s still a big conjunction and the pressure when it’s approaching can sometimes be felt viscerally. It’s a restless one and one that some feel trepidation about. Some even feel physical pressure. That should begin to ease after. But the changes that will be set in motion on this conjunction will not always be apparent until later, Richard Tarnas, in Cosmos and Psyche gives a 10˚ orb for these bigger cycles, either side. For us personally, however, the tighter the orb the bigger impact of change personally. Though of course outer world events will impact us all.
My podcast for the conjunction is at
The approach to the conjunction is more immediate energy. The Virgo Moon is great for cleaning and sorting, or doing good things for your bodily health. The aspects to Mars and Neptune in Pisces give this an otherworldly vibe though, and the square to the Galactic Center adds to that.
Think cleaning and exercising while listening to poetry, music or daydreaming. I will be listening to Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Society again as I go about my day. As a bit of fun a friend and I tried to rectify her chart yesterday. We went through many public events in her chart and, even though most speculate she has either Scorpio or Capricorn rising, we settled on late Sagittarius. It fits many things and this album release. She does have a Capricorn stellium and Mars and Pluto in Scorpio, traditional and modern rulers, so those energies are strong in her chart of course. She and I have many similarities in our charts so it feels right. Iwe even have some similar physical features when we looked at younger pics of me. I am Sagittarius rising with Saturn in Capricorn in the first. We could be wrong of course, but we had fun doing it!
In a mundane turning point, Iran has said it will not escalate with Israel at this point. Unfortunately a man immolated himself outside Trump’s court case yesterday too. Both surprising and shocking events.
Most of all, use the Virgo Moon to do nice and cleansing activities today, while you create, dream, and sing.
The Moon moves into Libra late this evening and things take a Venusian turn as Venus in Aries squares Ceres in Capricon and conjuncts Chiron activating the April 8th Eclipse degree. There will be an urge to diplomacy, healing, balance, and harmony. A healing vibe that says how are we nurturing ourselves and others.
Venus is disappearing behind the Sun at any moment for that Exterior/Superior conjunction on June 4th and is entering her underworld journey.
The Venus guided Libra Moon trines Pluto in Aquarius taking a deep dive into what needs to be transformed and changed. Hint, big shifts in perceptions and the story of me, we, and THE story are coming. The also Venus guided Taurus Sun opposes creatrix Haumea also today. This means the lights, the Sun and Moon, are activating that long term Pluto/Haumea square that’s helping us to shift and change.
I do still sense a shift. A desire to return to more peace and harmony in this disorderd time. Or rather to create a new peace and harmony. It’s a lond birthing canal, however.
Enjoy the day. Do lovely things for you. And you may just get some ahas from your thoughts and the things that you listen to and see throughout the day.
INVITATION TO YOU:-
Join me in Utah in October
I am a Peer Group leader at the wonderful OPA Retreat in Park City Utah in October. I LOVE OPA Retreats. They have a certain intimacy and connection lacking in some events (the other events have different strengths. I would like to invite you to the Retreat on October 16-21. There are fabulous speakers (and a day pass for just that day is also available) but what’s unique about OPA Retreats is the opportunity to do an in-person Peer Group, a track to learn a new technique or an in-person Consulting Skills class. At the core of all those options is becoming an ethical Astrologer. Plus we would get to meet!
The Retreat is called “Celebrating the Aquarian Shift”
And the theme is “Connect and Learn”
If you register this month there is an early bird price and also payment plans available! Check it out and register at this link.
REGISTER for the OPA retreat now!
Melanie Reinhart and I also had a wide-ranging conversation about the Eclipse degree with Shaman Chiron conjunct at 19˚ Aries, and discussed how Chiron was at 19˚ Aries when the North Node entered Aries and will be at 19˚ Aries when the North Node leaves Aries and moves back into creative soup, Pisces. If you missed our beautiful chat you can find it here. I love this woman.
Have a good one.
I know I will
